When I make my preseason picks each year, I don’t really care about disagreements. A lot of these are so close where reasonable minds can differ. But I will probably always remember the uproar from Kansas State fans in 2010-11 when I picked Marcus Morris as my preseason Big 12 Player of the Year ahead of Jacob Pullen.
One Big 12 Player of the Year award later, Marcus had cemented himself as one of my favorites, both because of how good he was, but for proving me right.
He established himself as a favorite due to a very efficient 2010 season in which he had an offensive rating of 120.
